Love learning new things!


One of our meals during our ultimate reset was Kabocha squash. It was delicious and both John and I enjoyed it. Click here for video.

This will totally be a new staple on our menu.

My garlic-tahini sauce did come out as smooth as the picture in the book. But it was pretty good!

We both also ate the skin, it's thin and full of fiber 😃

We also learned some cool facts about this yummy squash.....

✅ It's an anti inflammatory

It's full of:
✅ Beta carotene
✅ Iron
✅ Vitamins A, C, fiber and some B vitamins

And.....
✅ it's 40 calories
✅ has less than half the carbs of most other squash about 7 grams per cup.

Most likely won't be making the chickpea mash for breakfast after the Reset, the microgreen salad will make a comeback, not my favorite but it's good and filling, the Kabocha squash heck yes!

And we even got to try it in a coconut Kabocha squash soup the next day!  Think I may have made it too thick it was more like porridge.  Not horrible, but I prefer the squash with the tahini garlic sauce over the coconut soup.

  A little break from making St. Joseph's bread for a reflection on keeping my focus on Jesus.

No matter what I can always find Joy in the Journey

This morning I did my prayers and readings in my prayer room and then went outside to enjoy some time in the backyard oasis while I shared my reflections on today's Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.  And today's reading always reminds me of one of my favorite books " Hinds Feet on High Places" by Hanna Hurnard. I believe that the journey to the mountaintop, the experiences along the way, the gorgeous views and the beauty that it seen on the climb enriches the experience not only along the way up and when I get to the top and take in the beauty of God's nature all around me.  It also fortifies me for the climb back down. While I would love to stay on the mountaintop, I know that I will have to make the trek back down.  And what a blessing to take it all with me on the way down and and beyond for whatever comes next I am back in the valley.               
Today's resounding message in my morning readings and reflections is to let go of control and to trust and surrender all to the ONE who created me and as scripture says .   "For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you."   Jeremiah 29:11-12   Can you relate? Trust and Surrender
